    (devel/R-desc) Updated 1.3.0 to 1.4.0, make test fails (1)

    # desc 1.4.0

    * DESCRIPTION objects created with the `!new` command now omit `LazyData: true`
      to match new CRAN checks (#105, @malcolmbarrett)

    * `description$write()` now writes out the file in the correct encoding
      (#109).

    * `Authors@R` fields are now formatted differently when normalizing a
      DESCRIPTION file (#78).

    * New `description$get_list()`, `description$set_list()` and
      corresponding `desc_get_list()` and `desc_set_list()` values to query
      and create comma separated fields (#86).

    ## Breaking change

    * `desc_get_field()` gains a boolean `squish_ws` parameter to normalize
      whitespace within the retrieved value. It defaults to the value of `trim_ws`
      (`TRUE` by default). Example with desc's current DESCRIPTION:

      Old behaviour:

      ```r
      > desc::desc_get_field("Description")
      [1] "... DESCRIPTION files.\n    It is intended for packages ..."
      ```

      New behaviour:

      ```r
      > desc::desc_get_field("Description")
      [1] "... DESCRIPTION files. It is intended for packages ..."
      ```

      If you want the old behaviour, just set `squish_ws = FALSE`.
